Re: [RC] Menes* - Tom Sites

Menes* was imported to the USA from the Tersk Stud, where he was the Head Sire, into the USA by Aries Arabians, and specifically chosen by Michael Weinstein at the height of the Arab big-dollar period.
 
Being in a small enclosure, like a wash room with Menes* could be an adventure.  He was not a nice person, but made some beautiful babies with all the pretty girls of the time.  Dickens was a Menes* son by Dark Eyes and he bred Katalina SWSB and out came my gm Gabriel who is such a nice friendly horse i doubt if he will ever be raced, so you can't tell anything from him.
 
The arabs bought a Menes* son out of Mombasa (Mandela)after he finished the OD 100 in 6th place, his first 100, and has never been heard from again.
 
Lynne Gilbert (gm Chagall) did the best of all the Menes* horses that came my way, and has just found a Menes* daughter she had been looking for for many years.  This is an unregistered mare by Menes*/Wola SWSB.  ( i called her WOMEN, pronounced with the V ).  Lynne would be a good one to discuss whats up with the Menes* line as she searched a lot and found Ruby.
 
As a line they were all kind and giving, and tho he only shows up w/ 400 get there are many more out there.  Nancy and a few others know the line well also.  ts
